Foodie Find: New Glory Eatery & Taproom

If you’ve never eaten food that was so good you said words improper to say in public, New Glory Eatery & Taproom can help. Not that I want you to say anything offensive, but when I took a bite of their Croque Monsieur, a few questionable words came out of my otherwise pure mouth. Picture a warm sandwich with béchamel (a French sauce that’ll change your life), fire-smoked ham, Gruyère, and chives on country white bread. C’est délicieux! Throw in Parmesan Truffle Fries and a pint of Mild Statesman Ale and you have la perfection! If you’re a fan of chicken strips, you’ve never had any like the ones they serve here. Beer-brined in their Ubahdank IPA, they’re trés moist and flavorful. Julien, the owner—who happens to be from France (hence my attempt at writing in French)—and his staff pride themselves on cleverly naming their beers, whose colorful cans are a talking point too. Mouth Party (Northeastern DIPA), Hopochondriac (West Coast DIPA), Gummy Worms (chewy pale ale), and Wakey Wakey (oatmeal coffee porter) were just a few of the 20-plus rotating taps available on my visit. As far as food, there’s something for everyone at this family-friendly taproom. And here’s a little secret that our server, Ben, let us in on. If you order the Papas and Chorizo pizza, add an egg, and it will magically turn into breakfast. À votre santé and bon appétit! (Cheers and enjoy your meal.)
